Sorry for not being more descriptive. The run menu offers continuing the install after noting the cc-version difference, and the install completes. But the only resolution provided is default, 1280x1024, on my 1920x1200 monitor. no xorg.conf glxinfo reports: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig ?? tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I believe it was related to a perl package that had dependency problems related to libmal-perl. After removing the package, yast and perl and a few other packages updated/installed. I dropped to runlevel 3 and back to 5 and the prompt showed that the nvidia driver was indeed working.
